Renewable Wind Power Inner Mongolia

AVOIDING OVER 130,000 TONNES CO₂ EMISSIONS ANNUALLY DISPLACING FOSSIL FUEL GENERATION ON THE GRID SUPPORTING THE GLOBAL TRANSITION TO A LOW CARBON FUTURE RENEWABLE WIND POWER, INNER MONGOLIA climatecare ACCELERATING THE GLOBAL LOW- CARBON TRANSITION In China, coal-fired power dominates the grid and is typically responsible for over 80% of China's electricity consumption. This leads to a very high amount of greenhouse gas emitted for each unit of electricity - about 0.88kg CO2 per kWh. This renewable power wind farm is located in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in China, and is harnessing the power of the wind to generate clean electricity for the North China power grid. The wind farm has a total capacity of 49.5 MW and is made up of 30 wind turbines. The estimated annual electricity supplied to the grid from this project is 124,497 MWh. Over the project's lifetime, this equates to a reduction of over 1 million tCO2e. By displacing the electricity generated by fossil fuel-fired power plants with clean energy, this project is reducing the resulting emissions, including carbon, dust and sulphur dioxide. The project has also generated 16 job opportunities for local people, and contributes to developments in the economy and infrastructure within the local region.
